We started the MobileRead Dev Hub with the mission to provide MobileRead developers with free disk space, a revision control system (SVN) and a bug tracker (Trac). At that time, free options where limited.

Fortunately things have improved greatly since. It's easy to host new projects on free and reliable platforms, including those that we greatly recommend such as GitHub and Bitbucket.

We decided that the Dev Hub served its purpose and that the time has come to close its doors. We will therefore disconnect the software versioning and bug tracking system by April 1, 2013. Files currently stored on the Dev site will be archived for a limited time afterwards in case anybody needs to access them.

I will need to access my old files there if it is real and wonder how to do that. The argument for putting things in the Dev hub were that it was permanent and did not disappear when developers disappear...

Nothing has been deleted; we only shut down the machine that was running Dev. Dev was a heavily modified Trac system which was too time-consuming to maintain in comparison to how little it was actually used (which is not a surprise given the rise of Github and such).

I am considering putting the stored files together and listing them for download if that would solve your problem.
